IF YOU ARE SELF-DRIV­ING:

Never in­vade an ele­phant’s space. Turn off your en­gine, speak qui­etly, be re­spect­ful but vig­i­lant.

READ BODY LAN­GUAGE

Watch for an ele­phant lift­ing one leg from the ground, swing­ing it and kick­ing up dust; hold­ing its ears out for a pro­longed pe­riod to show its size; or shak­ing its head repeatedly. With any of these signs, back away slowly.

LEAVE TWO ES­CAPE ROUTES

Make sure there are at least two clear ‘es­cape’ routes, so nei­ther of you feels trapped.
